- It is importance to follow previous precedence set by judges. When Judge Allgood ruled guilty on VF01 - Evading an Officer, he overturned the rulings of previous cases: #23-CM-0029, State of San Andreas v. Scoobie Bathsheba and #22-CM-0054 State of San Andreas v. Joey Seretov. Judge Allgoood does not disagree that the defendant ran on foot, and in fact found him guilty for resisting arrest. Previous precedence states that a Defendant running away after a vehicle pursuit in an attempt to get away from the pursuing police officers is a clear indication of guilt in VF01 cases. Alternatively cases like #23-CM-0001, State of San Andreas v. Lennox Jet and #22-CM-0013, State of San Andreas v. Summer Valentine, set the same precedence where defendants who did not run were found not guilty. The prosecution asks the ruling be reviewed due to clear errors in the judge's interpretation of the law based on the previous precedence set by Judicial Rulings on the law.
